Set of Seven Handmade Vintage Primitive Vintage Nesting Cubes/Blocks in Pine

About the Item

Primitive set of seven blocks and boxes (some four-sided, some two) which nest in the largest box (ca. early 20th Century, USA). Thoughtfully crafted with finger jointed-edges and unique design details. More complex assembly than a typical nesting block set - some pieces only fit into others when positioned correctly. Works as both a challenging child's toy and rustic objet d'art for display purposes. Naturally aged patina from use along with marker/pencil lines and edge wear (original, distressed condition). Dimensions (when nested together) - Roughly 6.5" Square
